Getting Object Info

I'm trying to create a listbox of items within my Object. Below is the structure of my object, basically I want to be able to loop through the object and extract 'defaultControls' and 'controlSet1' from it.

Variable _level0.my_so = [object #237, class 'SharedObject'] {
data:[object #238, class 'Object'] {
defaultControls:[object #239, class 'Object'] {
0:[object #240, class 'Object'] {
screenname:"ios",
icon:3,
bkgd:0,
template:3,
selected:true,
deleted:false,
},
prev:[object #240, class 'Object'],
c:1
}
}
controlSet1:[object #240, class 'Object'] {
0:[object #240, class 'Object'] {
screenname:"ios",
icon:3,
bkgd:0,
template:3,
selected:true,
deleted:false,
},
prev:[object #240, class 'Object'],
c:1
}
}
},
onStatus:[function 'onStatus']
}

So far i've tried:

      for (i in _root.my_so.data){
      fileList.addItem(_parent.my_so.data[i]);
}

      for (i in _root.my_so.data){
      fileList.addItem(_parent.my_so.data[i].name);
}

      for (i in _root.my_so.data){
      fileList.addItem(_parent.my_so.data[i].label);
}

none of these are giving me the output i want. Please help!

What type of data do you want to be displayed in List component?

You mentioned, you want to list items 'defaultControls' and 'controlSet1' from your 'my_so' object.

If you will type trace (_root.my_so.data.defaultControls); you will see no literal output.

You can add a property 'objectName' of a type String to the 'defaultControls' and 'controlSet1' objects and output the value of this property in List.

I've come to the conclusion that the only way to do it is to add a unique id to each object and call it using that name instead.

Thanks for your help guys.
